Contrasting Patterns of Genetic Isolation Among Diadromous, Landlocked, and Non‐Migratory Gobiid Fish PopulationsNARA Subscribed
Dams can landlock populations of amphidromous fishes that formerly migrated between rivers and seas. However, the genetic consequences of these life‐cycle changes remain unclear. Rhinogobius is a speciose genus of freshwater gobies widely distributed in Asia, including non‐migratory R. duospilus and facultatively amphidromous R. similis . Using genome‐wide SNPs from Hong Kong, southern China, we compared the genetic diversity...
Multi-species aggregation and movement patterns of danaid butterflies (Nymphalidae: Danainae) in Hong KongNARA Subscribed
Danaid butterflies (Nymphalidae: Danainae) in Asia form seasonal aggregations and/or exhibit migratory flights similar to those of the North American monarch ( Danaus plexippus ). In contrast to this well-studied single-species system, however, Asian danaids form smaller multi-species aggregations and show seasonal movements which remain relatively understudied. In this study, we used publicly reportable stickers to tag 15,918...
Conservation of marine biodiversity requires an understanding of the habitats needed to support and replenish species of interest. It also requires knowledge about the abundance and diversity of multispecies assemblages. Variation in the distribution and composition of kelp forests, one of the most productive marine coastal habitats globally, can have major influences on reef fishes—a group of ecologically and socioeconomicall...
Toward a network perspective in coastal ecosystem managementNARA Subscribed
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and...
Impacts of a floating photovoltaic system on temperature and water quality in a shallow tropical reservoirNARA Subscribed
A three-dimensional hydrodynamic-ecological lake model combined with field measurements and sampling was applied to investigate the impacts of floating photovoltaic (PV) systems on hydrodynamics and water quality in a shallow tropical reservoir in Singapore. The model was validated using field data and subsequently applied to predict temperature and water quality changes for a hypothetical 42 ha placement of floating photovolt...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Background Humans display an age-related decline in cerebral blood flow and increase in blood pressure (BP), but changes in the underlying control mechanisms across the lifespan are less well understood. We aimed to; (1) examine the impact of age, sex, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and cardio-respiratory fitness on dynamic cerebral autoregulation and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity, and (2) explore the relationships betwee...
Inactive rhomboid proteins RHBDF1 and RHBDF2 (iRhoms): a decade of research in murine modelsNARA Subscribed
Rhomboid proteases, first discovered in Drosophila , are intramembrane serine proteases. Members of the rhomboid protein family that are catalytically deficient are known as inactive rhomboids (iRhoms). iRhoms have been implicated in wound healing, cancer, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, inflammation, and skin diseases. The past decade of mouse research has shed new light on two key pro...
Integration of Omics Tools for Understanding the Fish Immune Response Due to Microbial ChallengeOA Marine
Nowadays, fish production through aquaculture and wild capture is escalating due to the higher fish protein demand for human consumption. Thus, the needs for fish products to be improved in scale and quality are becoming increasingly important to meet the nutrition requirements. The negative impacts caused by pathogens infection both in hatchery and grow-out ponds, have resulted in low aquaculture productivity and economic los...
